Chapter 1786 - 657: Someone on the Beam_2

Su Mo’s words just now, they all heard them clearly.

For a moment, their brows were deeply furrowed.

"Brother Deng Yun, I’m afraid something major will happen within the Tianjing Sect tonight."

Wang Dengyun furrowed his brow:

"Don’t act rashly just yet, let’s observe the situation before deciding."

"Hmm, I’ll listen to you."

Liu Yuying let out a light breath:

"I have no other desires, I only wish you and I can escape safely, thereafter, in the vast world, there will always be a place for us."

"Ultimately, it’s just that I’m useless..."

"Don’t say that."

The two whispered to each other in this room, not to be mentioned for now.

Speaking of Su Mo, who brought Hua Shiyi and Yu Lingxin, in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of Weiyang Palace.

"According to what Liu Yuying said, inside Weiyang Palace, there are some suitable people for Li Dai Taojiang.

"One is the cook in the kitchen.

"She rarely sees outsiders, is silent and reticent, usually doesn’t need to cook, so her taste in cooking won’t expose her identity.

"She just does some simple tasks like serving tea and water.

"Moreover, she has a hideous face, and was once burned, perfectly camouflaging her identity.

"Another is the old man chopping wood in the backyard.

"He is nearly sixty, hunched over, chopping wood every day, sitting on the steps drinking in his leisure time.

"He has no acquaintances or friends and is extremely reclusive.

"The last one is a lady responsible for cleaning inside Weiyang Palace.

"She is naturally deaf-mute and never speaks.

"The big figures in Weiyang Palace always ignore her.

"Moreover, this person can move freely everywhere inside Weiyang Palace, everyone treats her as invisible."

"Which one do you think is suitable?"

Su Mo asked casually.

"The cook."

Yu Lingxin spoke softly.

"I thought you would choose that lady?"

Su Mo’s eyes carried a slight smile.

"That lady is most likely problematic."

Yu Lingxin furrowed his brows:

"Not only people from Tianjing Sect reside in Weiyang Palace.

"Occasionally, others live here.

"Although this person is deaf-mute, she can walk everywhere, yet hasn’t encountered any incident over the years.

"It absolutely cannot be that simple.

"Moreover, in Jianghu, merely being deaf-mute can’t make people believe secrets won’t be leaked?

"She has seen quite a lot over the years in Weiyang Palace.

"If she remains unharmed, she must have a problem.

"If you want to move inside Weiyang Palace, you must be wary of this person."

Su Mo nodded:

"I also think so.

"But even as the wood-chopping old man and the cook, one must be careful they might have other Mystical aspects.

"Judging by how even Liu Yuying knows about this, these matters are not difficult to investigate.

"Perhaps Weiyang Palace intentionally left these ’gaps,’ making people think they can easily sneak in... in reality, each one is a tough nail."

Yu Lingxin repeatedly nodded upon hearing this:

"You’re right, how about you come with me? Having you by my side, even if there’s Mystical matters, it’s hard to act out."

"That’s exactly what I meant."

Su Mo nodded.

Listening to their conversation, Hua Shiyi felt her brain buzzing momentarily.

Thinking perhaps these two are overthinking?

How can human hearts be so treacherous?

But from this simple discussion, it’s clear they see people and things far beyond ordinary people’s comprehension, thinking deeply before acting, not rushed into chaos.

This is exactly what Jianghu experts should be like.

Hua Shiyi suddenly felt fortunate to have followed them.

Witnessing these top experts in action is greatly beneficial for her future travels in Jianghu.

And after Su Mo and Yu Lingxin exchanged a few words, Su Mo displayed the Wind God Step.

Though there were guards at the entrance of Weiyang Palace, they only felt a gust of wind passing by, the fire basins on both sides rustling, yet no glimpse of the person.

The two at the entrance momentarily glanced at each other, hesitated briefly, and quickly relayed the message inside.

Instructing those guarding Weiyang Palace to carefully check for suspicious traces within the palace.

In Jianghu, it’s often heard that masters relying on Qinggong are so adept that others struggle to capture their shadow, as they simply dash past in front of others.

Having heard of such incidents many times, although it might indeed be gusts of wind.

But it’s better to be more vigilant.

To prevent unauthorized entry without awareness.

Su Mo and the others also noticed the sudden change in vigilance within Weiyang Palace, glancing at each other in surprise at the alertness of the guards.

But this still couldn’t stop Su Mo.

That cook’s location, Liu Yuying had already informed Yu Lingxin.

Immediately, the three headed in one direction, straight towards a spot in Weiyang Palace.

As one ascends Weiyang Palace, the higher one goes, the smaller the area, and the higher the status of its residents.

Besides the buildings above ground, there are three underground levels.

Some Tianjing Sect disciples reside inside, but most are servant aides.

In a corner room on the third level.

There was a woman appearing to be in her thirties, sitting in front of a mirror, tidying her appearance.

She neatly arranged her hair into a bun, meticulously.

Then touched her face in front of the copper mirror.

Above was a large patch of burn scars.

Upon seeing this, the woman sighed deeply, her eyes full of melancholy.

Suddenly remembering something, she reached to open a side drawer, inside was a small porcelain bowl with a few candies.

She carefully took one out, popped it in her mouth, instantly showing a look of happiness on her face.
